Feeling Ignored by My Significant Other

I’m sorry about that but I know how you feel. My ex boyfriend was the same way with me. I thought we were doing good but then COVID started and his mom didn’t let us see each other. So we ended up breaking up because his mom never respected him or I . She always disrespected him in front of me when I would be there. I politely asked her if she could please not be disrespectful to him in my presence when I was there and she rudely told me he’s my son and it’s my house and I’ll be the way I want to him if I want. She tried to come near me and scream at me I politely asked her to step back and she refused to and went to raise her hand and try to hit me that fast I was on the phone with the cops and had them to the house because i politely asked her to step back and put her hand down and she refused and I was raised to never raise my hand to a woman.

I sometimes make my partner feel this way, not intentionally of course, I love my partner and I love talking to and doing things with them. But sometimes I don't adequately communicate where I'm at or how I'm feeling. And sometimes I am blissfully unaware my partner doesn't feel valued when I shift from focusing on them to something else. I don't know your boyfriend so I can only speak for myself. But once my partner expressed to me how they felt I was able to put forward a more conscious effort into spending time and communicating when I couldn't. Nobody deserves to feel like that, and you shouldn't have to. Maybe you and your boyfriend can find a middle ground where he can still play games and you still feel valued and a priority.
